I take your opening remarks as legitimate, I don't advocate setting precedents but I never knew the idea of sending your kid to school with children from other cultures would be such a traumatic experience for them. I think you went a touch far there. And accusing me of 'liking' such measures undermines you further.

Perhaps I misinterpreted, but I took the implication to be that such a measure would be somehow punitive on the children, whereas actually what I would argue is that perhaps it is worth exploring to prevent further division...which really exists...and will pose Muslim children a greater threat in the future. And though I say white children are increasingly tolerant, I do worry that there is a growing 'Muslim Question' in this country. I actually really feel for them, because it's only going one way. What would you propose then?

They're sensible measures, but I just don't know if it's not touching around the edges a bit. My gut reaction to that guys suggestion was that it would be the most effective way of diversifying the influences in Muslim kids lives, because as I understand it many do live within closed-off communities which don't reach out. But it's a tricky one, I can't disagree with you there. I am pessimistic, though.

So...... who watched it?

I did and found it very enlightening... and scary!

My conclusions having listened intently for a good hour is that there are a significant number of Muslims that never want to integrate with us and impose Sharia Law in their segregated communities.

Worse still is that the youngest male Muslims interviewed were as "hardline" as the over 65's in their treatment of women, homosexuals and sympathy for terrorism.

Clearly we are not winning the minds of British Muslims and getting them to accord with British moral values like the Hindu's, Sikhs and other religious groups have done quite willingly.

There are 3 million Muslims living in Britain and this number is increasing at a faster rate than any other religious group.

If we're not careful and don't address this problem, it won't be just Sharia Law in a few local communities!

Worrying...

Why would anyone be surprised by that?

Governments have allowed masses of people from an alien culture to come to Britain in a very short space of time. An insane policy driven by greed.
Those who make these decisions won't be affected though because they will probably retire to a tropical Island.

I think it works as an approach if rather than focusing on one religious group, you include all religious groups.

There are plenty of schools with a predominantly Catholic or Protestant bias.

Of course, I'd generally go one step further and remove religion from schools entirely, even private schools.
